Jim, do you have any suet blocks out? Around here - We're North PF you, BT
South of the Mason-Dixon line - they'll guarantee you woodies and others
you seldom find at seed feeders.
Used to only put suet out in the Winter, but now we do it all year.

I've noticed this previously, but this photo illustrates the way in which
woodpeckers use their tail as an extra "leg" in positioning themselves on a
feeder or on a tree trunk.

I've had glimpses of this woodpecker at times, but he never stayed long
enough for a snap. I glanced out at dusk yesterday and saw him, but
worried that there was not enough light to get an image. He was constantly
moving, so I raised the ISO to 6400 to get the shutter speed up to 1/50,
having never tried this high an ISO rating with the X-E1. This was the
best of the several images.
